When we think of balance we think of standing on one leg. The same is true when we think of the Balance of our Mind Body and Soul. Without true balance of these three, it becomes difficult for us to stand alone. We are more dependent when we are off balance, we struggle more in relationships, finances, and meeting goals. We tend to lose ourselves at the sight of anything that will distract us from our ultimate purpose. How do we maintain balance? By learning which leads to growth and by surrounding yourself with good people these balance Mind. By diet exercise and music, these help balance Body. By self forgiveness, laughter, meditation & nature, these balance Soul. It may be difficult but it is always possible! Here is to finding Balance! #mylife#myjourney#mypassion#mybalance#balance#beyou#betrue#bekind#behonest#bebrave#besmart#begenuine#befierce#befabulous#becourageous#beautiful#mybeautifullife

Having one of those days.. tired of automatic labeling with a ‘bad’ day. Maybe I’m NOT depressed. Maybe I’m not moody. Maybe I’m not having an ‘episode’.. Maybe what I’m feeling is genuine! Maybe it’d just be nice to feel truly and honestly loved and appreciated.. Maybe it’d be nice to be missed, to be cared for, to be wanted, to be needed.. Maybe I’m NOT everyone’s blame game or punching bag or money machine. Maybe, just maybe, I’ve got value as much as the next person. Maybe.. maybe depression, BP, anxiety, ADHD, panic attacks, mood swings, bad days, & all the other bullshit people use for labels is just that: labels people give whenever the situation or person doesn’t fit exactly what others think they should and suddenly it’s no longer beneficial or convenient. I won’t apologize for standing up for myself because someone choose to treat me badly and then suddenly I’m the one with issues. No. No. No. There is so much more, but for now, I won’t apologize for not allowing YOUR bad/rude/ inappropriate behavior to label me. Take responsibility and learn to be a good person or don’t be mad when YOUR ‘mad/pissed off’ labels don’t fit and I DO FOR ME!! #youdontdefineme#realshit💯#notalabel#aintfake#truth💯#deppression#mentalhealth#label#onlyhuman#tiredofthebullshit#idefineme#beautiful#honesty#priceless#incredible#gorgeous#smylealways#smylealwaysgorgeous#adhd#mood#godgotme#blessed🙏#reallife#myjourney#mytruth#godswill

I reflect on 5 years ago when it was thought that I would die. I remember being in that threshold of death it changed me and experience I don't think the human brain can fully comprehend because I still try to understand what I witnessed in those moments. I still plan on turning my story into a film and book I have a story to tell a story I lived that is a storyof hope, pain, strength, perseverance, sorrow anger, love and life. As my grandpa told me before he died "Son God has a very important plan for you. you will give people on earth an ideal to stride towards, you will stumble, you will fall and fail, but in time you will help the world accomplish wonders, help people recognize there dignity, hopes and dreams you will change this earth for the better" and as I reflect im still young and learning, I am stumbling and falling. I hope I do as my grandpa believed in me, as Mia believed in me. That when the world falls into darkness some men have the courage to lead it out. I will be one of those men.. #mystory#myjourney#unbroken#undefeated#strong#bold#fearless#cbs#gullianbarrésyndrome#survivor#transformationtuesday

My WHY ⭐️
——————————————————————————
Why I show up everyday, why I don’t give up when the ‘motivation’ slips away, why I decided that I needed this for myself ——————————————————————————
I was overweight my whole life, even as a kid. I still remember the names of the kids that never referred to me by my name but instead by ‘fatty’.
➡️
I remember high school & feeling like nobody. Being laughed at when I tried to do my hair or wear the school uniform skirt and feel SO self conscious because I had huge legs.
➡️
I remember college & constantly being told I have a ‘cute face’. Going to the dorm parties & not even being looked at once because I was the big girl in the room 😔
•
I want to remember the rest of my life as a life I CHOSE for myself. I want to feel happy and sexy and confident & the only way that I was going to feel that way was to change the way I lived my life. I want to do whatever I feel like & not be limited to choices because of my size.
•
I started to make healthier choices. I started small- from two bowls of pasta for dinner to one and eventually moved up to cutting out toxic relationships out of my life.
I will forever be working on myself because I made it my life choice to make my happiness my number 1 priority. And shit, it feels so good.
